Have you ever thought about the kind of energy you send out to your coworkers from day to day, and have you also thought about the kind of energy they send back to you?Have you also thought about the kind of energy that you’d like to be sending out to them?
I’ve so often heard it said that when you smile at someone, although you may not realize it, your smile may be just the smile that that person needed on that particular day.
The person who walks in to work late or the person who may have experienced a huge battle in traffic on their way to work that morning is most likely going to send out negative energy when they enter the work place.
On the other hand, the person who has had a great weekend will walk in on a Monday morning sending out positive vibes.
I believe that we all have choices. We can either choose to go in to work dwelling on the traffic battle that we experienced before we arrived or the argument we had with our spouse just before we left, or we can let those things go and allow ourselves to be present in the moment. It’s really up to us.
I’ve read that it takes at least 30 days to form a new habit, and this would include any type of habit from changing your eating habits to changing attitude habits.
I believe that there would be a lot less conflict in the work place if we all took the time to do three things:
1: Think before we speak.
2: Leave our personal issues outside the door.
3: When you feel an argument coming on, take a time out. drop the matter before it escalates.
Positive or negative. The choice is yours.
